I need help keeping my CSS tooltip on screen for my website. It unfortunately is too big for the website near the edge of the screen and also is WAY too big for any mobile device and doesn't position correctly (probably because I plan to add very large descriptions in each tooltip). I would like to just use CSS but would be willing to use JS as I'm starting to think that may be the only way to do it correctly, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to make it work.
I basically had copied over the code from another website with many tweaks if it helps you understand my code better: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_tooltip.asp
The only results I could find online were about centering the tooltip on the screen which strangely didn't work and code using SCSS which I'm not experienced with and would prefer not to use.
Here is my partial HTML and CSS code:
body {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.ref {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
}
.ref .versekjv {
visibility: hidden;
width: 250px;
background-color: black;
color: #fff;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 6px;
z-index: 98;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -125px;
flex-direction: column;
}
.ref .versekjv::after {
content: " ";
position: absolute;
bottom: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
border-width: 5px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: transparent transparent black transparent;
}
.ref:hover .versekjv {
visibility: visible;
}
.redletters {
color:red;
}
#media screen and (max-width:1000px){
.ref .versekjv {
font-size: 1rem;
max-width: 20rem;
position: fixed;
bottom: auto; top: 13%;
left: 78%;
text-align: left;
transform: translate(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%);
white-space: normal;
z-index: 98;
}
.ref .versekjv::after {
border-color: transparent;
}
}
<li class="box"><a>
<div class="innerbox">Reference</div>
<div class="innerbox"><u class="ref">Reference<span class="versekjv"><b>Bible Book</b><p><i>#</i> Verse Text</p></span></u></div>
<div class="innerbox"><u class="ref">Reference<span class="versekjv"><b>Bible Book</b><p><i>#</i> Verse Text</p></span></u>; <u class="ref">Reference<span class="versekjv"><b>Bible Book</b><p><i>Verse Num.</i> Verse Text</p></span></u></div>
</a></li>
Thank you so much for your help!
First, you need to get the DOM object of your tooltip,
let tooltip = document.querySelector(".ref .versekjv")
Then, you can use the js method "getBoundingClientRect", which gives you an object that has top, right, left and bottom fields which give you the distances of your element from top, right, left and bottom of the viewport. If your element is fully visible inside the element, all four fields would be positive numbers, otherwise it means it's partly invisible, for example a left field of "-10" means about 10px of length of your elements is beyond the left edge of the viewport.
What you can do is that you always check the top, left, ... distances of your element, and if they are negative numbers, manually change them and thus position your element correctly, which could be achieved like this:
tooltip.style.left = 20
Please see this fiddle I have set up.
You are first confronted by three links. Each link triggers divs to slide out.
The link 'john smith' slides out and in at the speed we want. When it slides out the first line slides out then when that is completed the second line slides down as though coming from the first. When it slides back it does the same motion at the same speed but reverse i.e.. the second line slide back up first and then when that is completed the first line slides back to the left.
When you click on the work link and menu slides out in the same manner as the bio. Also there is a sub menu that slides out when on clicks on item 2.
When the user clicks on the contact link one line slides out.
What we need to achieve is this; when any div is open and another link is clicked on, the visible div slides back in reverse to how they slid in. We have almost achieve this, however, the code is not quite right as the divs are not sliding back in at the same speed and in the right order, they simply slide back fast. For example, if one has clicked on 'work' and the 'item 2' link, and then you select 'contact' the opened div slide back very quickly. What I need to achieve is that they slide back in reverse to how they slid out.
To attempt to make it clear, if you click on 'work' and then 'item 2' so with menus are visible and then click on work again, you will see the sub menu slides away first before the first menu. You will also notice that the items that slide up slide back down first before the divs slide back to the left. This is what needs to happen if you click on 'contact' or 'john smith' when the menus are visible.
I know this sounds very complicated and if I can answer any questions to make it clearer I will.
Thanks
$('#bio-line-1').animate({width: 'hide'});
$('#contact-info').animate({right: 'hide'});
$('#bio-line-2').slideUp("fast");
$('#black-div, #black-credits, #igna-1-div, #igna-1-credits, #igna-2- div, #igna-2-credits, #fatal-div, #fatal-credits').fadeOut('100');
});
you can use .setTimeout() to put some delay
setTimeout(function () {
$('#contact-info').animate({right: 'toggle'});
}, 500);

I finally worked out how to fix it to work how I intended, however my code is very long winded. I realise there must be a way to reduce the repetition of the code by using generic functions. I will now post the working code onto Code Review for further development.
$('#menu').click(function () {
if ( $('#igna-1').css('display') != 'none' ) {
$('#igna-1').slideToggle("fast", function() {
$('#igna-2').animate({ left: 'hide' }, 300, function() {
$('#black, #igna, #igna-1').slideUp("fast", function() {
$('#fatal, #igna-2').animate({ left: 'hide' }, 300);
});
Although I see that you have found your solution but as I had started coding the TweenMax version of it, I went on and finished it. The reason I am suggesting GSAP should be the go-to tool for animations for the web is not just because it is crazy fast, or easy to jump-start or get started with, or makes some of the coolest animation effects possible with few lines of code (I can go on and on) ... but it is as intuitive as it can get.
Coming back to your animation, I have converted your animation solution into using TimelineMax / TweenMax entirely, snippet of which is as follows:
/*global TweenMax,TimelineMax,Power2,Power0*/

P.S. The example above may not have done justice to the library. There may have been bugs in my code or the approach may seem overly complicated, but these shouldn't take away the credits from this GreenSock Animation Platform. Love this tool.

Actually, two questions:
How can I create a modal popup with background color of gray?
Also I need to create for a cover background color only to table itself. Not to overall page.
How do I do this using javascript and css?
Here is the HTML, which should probably be inserted with JS, and the styles should be in an external stylesheet.
<div style="background: gray; width: 200px; height: 200px; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; margin-left: -100px; margin-top: -100px" id="modal">I'm a modal</div>
Then, you could leverage jQuery to display it.
$('a.modal').bind('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('#modal').fadeIn(800);
});
This is only a start, you'll want to learn from this and build upon it. For example, the script should check is(':hidden') and show, and if not then fadeOut(800) or similiar.
I use this for the mask that sits on top of the screen
.Mask {
display: none;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 9000;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
background: transparent url(http://i.imgur.com/0KbiL.png);
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
